I don't think he gunned it to hit Kevin at all. When I watched it, it looked/sounded like he blipped the throttle right as he made contact with him. He might be a world class prick, but I don't think he intentionally tried to hit Kevin.

That poor thing. Someone needs to buy it just to put it out of its misery.

They make pretty fantastic little rally cars.

*flamesuit on* I actually liked the Pontiac Solstice. I especially liked it's cousin, the Saturn Sky Redline. Very respectable and fun sports cars. People ooh-d and ahh-d when the BRZ/FRS/86 came out, saying "Nobody has made a small rear drive sporty car in forever!! And I'm just sitting in the corner, going...
